I read several articles about this, and my only conclusion is "this was way overdue". ICANN will still be doing the same job it was before, controlled by the same people that controlled it before. It will just not have the US Government looking over it's shoulder. The power is in the hands of the board of directors, who are, industry IT people. Not Kim-Jong-Il, Obama or other technically, financially, and socially illiterate politicians.
? I think this is very bad news I think you should read it again.
